A list of cohort studies that are currently part of GECCO is shown in the Table above. By clicking on the cohort names you can download the meta-data sheet with information on the measurement rounds, study population and available variables.

 

We work towards a more structured and extensive overview of cohort variables and measures in a FAIR meta-data repository.

 

Requesting access to cohort data can be done through the cohort-specific contact points. These can be found on the designated cohort websites listed in the Table below.

 

A list of currently available environmental variables can be found here.

 

Additional studies can be enriched with environmental data or  become part of GECCO. If you are interested to become part of GECCO with your Dutch cohort please complete and send us a Expression of Interest form or contact us for more information,
